Usage

check_if_optimize(
  x,
  system_list,
  path_data,
  num_trades_to_consider = 3,
  profit_factor_limit = 0.7,
  write_mode = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

• dataframe containing trading results

system_list

• dataframe containing a table with magic numbers used by robots. Stored in file Setup.csv

path_data

• string, path to the folder where optimization file should be written

num_trades_to_consider

• Number of trades to calculate profit factor

profit_factor_limit

• Limit below which trading robot is considered not working properly

write_mode

• When true function will write result to the file located in the temporary directory

Value

function returns a dataframe with systems that should be optimized

Details

Whenever there will be not enough trades then empty file will be written to the destination

# NOT RUN {
library(lazytrade)
library(magrittr)
library(dplyr)
library(readr)
library(lubridate)

path_data <- normalizePath(tempdir(),winslash = "/")

file.copy(from = system.file("extdata", "Setup.csv", package = "lazytrade"),
          to = file.path(path_data, "Setup.csv"), overwrite = TRUE)

system_list <- read_csv(file.path(path_data, "Setup.csv"))

data(profit_factorDF)


# without writing to the file
